What's the craic?
'The Icon' Sting
Last year Sting lost out to 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin 81-79 making the Rattlesnake a two time WrestleZone Champion. This year, the Icon goes the extra step and wrings the snakes neck!
Why? Well, asides from Sting holding the TNA World Title and defeating Hulk Hogan while Austin hosted 'Tough Enough' and (probably) did some acting in the year since, lets look at the stats Mr Borden has...
- 2 time NWA World Heavyweight Champion
- 6 time WCW World Heavyweight Champion
- 2 time WCW International World Heavyweight Championship
- 4 time TNA World Heavyweight Champion
- A record breaking 4 time PWI Most Popular Wrestler (with 13 1-4 placements - also a record)
- 1 time PWI Wrestler of the Year (4 1-4 placements)
- 1 time PWI 500 No.1 (7 Top10 placements)
Now that's the tangible awards, but Sting has a couple of other accolades...
- He is universally known as the 'Biggest Name Never To Perform In A WWF/WWe Ring(TM)'.
- When WCW dominated the WWF from June '96 to March '98 the predominant storyline was Sting's descent from surfer dude to Crow style avenger against the threat of the nWo.
- TNA's television deal was contingent on his participation in the company.
And finally (for now)...
- The No.1 seed in this year's competition is 'the Immortal' Hulk Hogan - take a guess who is undefeated against the Hulkster after several matches
